Forth Ports Limited
Ruling Depths & Under Keel Clearances - Forth
Vessels are scheduled into / out of ports on the Forth & Tay in accordance with the under keel
clearance criteria specified in this section of the Marine Guidelines & Port Information.
Vessel operators who require increased under keel clearance margins, over and above those published
in the Marine Guidelines & Port Information must ensure that these requirements are specified to
FTNS at the time of booking the vessel’s arrival / departure. This is to ensure that vessels are booked
for the correct height of tide, and to ensure that delays / impacts to the shipping schedule are avoided.
Agents are advised to ascertain vessel specific under keel clear requirements prior to making arrival /
departure bookings through FTNS.

GRANGEMOUTH - RULING DEPTHS AND UNDER KEEL CLEARANCE
Data is based on a broad interpretation of current surveys and is only intended as a general
guide.
Original surveys should always be consulted especially for detailed operational planning.
The following Ruling Depths apply to the berths, ports and approach channels. The depths
indicated are the least depth in the channel or on the berth. Deeper water may be available in
certain parts of the channel and conversely shallower water may exist just outside of the channel.
The depths given below are an indication of the least depth, which maybe encountered in the
channel, however a close examination of the latest soundings should be made when preparing a
passage plan.
For areas not included in the tables below an under keel clearance of 10% of the vessels
maximum draft with a minimum under keel clearance of 0.5m should be used.
1. Average Grangemouth Dock Density: 1020
2. Maximum Ship size normally accepted at Grangemouth: 187m * 27.4m.
3. All berths in Grange and Carron Dock – average height of quay above waterline 1.0m
4. Outreach of #4 & #5 transporter cranes 34.5m, height from quay to gantry 30m.
